Question 1:
The thematic statement in the short story "Love in LA," is that every person has this selfishness that they use in order to benefit and help themeselves. Jake uses his ex girlfriends old insurance company name to make it seem like he had insurance when he really didnt. This way he can look out for himself and not have to pay for any of the damage that he ever did to Marianas car. He also tries to take her out of giving away information, and also giving her false information. All this to help himself.

Question 2:
The expostion in the "Love in LA," starts with Jake sitting under the the overpass waiting in trafffic, then it moves onto describe the condition of his car and the features of it. The rising action of the story is when  Jake rear ends Marianas Toyota, which leads into the climax of the story. The climax of the story is when Jake is talking to Mariana, he tries to pick up on her. The conclusion happens when he drives off away from the accident.
